Publisher's Summary

A modern girl's comedic odyssey in a school filled with the descendants of Greek gods.

When Phoebe's mom returns from Greece with a new husband and moves them to an island in the Aegean, Phoebe's plans for her senior year and track season are ancient history.

Now she must attend the uberexclusive academy, where admission depends on pedigree, namely, ancestry from Zeus, Hera, and other Greek gods. That's right, they're real, not myth, and their teen descendants are like the classical heroes - supersmart and superbeautiful with a few superpowers. And now they're on her track team!

Armed only with her Nikes and the will to win, Phoebe races to find her place among the gods.

A cute little teenage story of a girl who starts school with a bunch of descendants of Greek Gods. Being the only one without powers, lots of people don't like her. Luckily she finds some friends, wins some victories and learns new things about herself. This is a fun story, recommended for girls around 12 and up. I like to read a little of everything so I enjoyed it, especially since it was only 3.95. I recommend listening to Bras & Broomsticks series by Sarah Mlynowski if you like this one. Narrator was great portraying a teenage girl.

The audio of this book was brilliant. I really enjoyed the reader, Jessica Almasy. She brought the characters to life. The story was really good but I was glad that I listened instead of read it. I would have missed out on a really great audio.

I wasn't expected so much out of this when I first came across the book. It sat on my to be read list for quite a while before stumbling on the audio version. After sampling, I downloaded immediately and never once regretted the purchase.

The school was fun. Getting to know the different descendants and seeing how Phoebe learned to deal with her new life when going to a school meant for 'gifted' individuals. All around fun book.

Would you consider the audio edition of Oh. My. Gods. to be better than the print version?

I love audio books. My job is mostly filing and data entry. So, I spend most of my day listening to books from audible. This book is told in first person and is like sitting across the table from the main character and getting a first hand account of her life.

What other book might you compare Oh. My. Gods. to and why?

I listened to Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini first. That book got me intrested in the whole Demigod's kick so I started looking for books with Demigods in them and Oh My Gods popped up. I think Tera Lynn Childs should get royalties from Starcrossed because it seemed apparent to me where Josephine Angelini got her idea.

Which scene was your favorite?

I had a lot of favorite scenes. So as not to spoil the listen I will keep them to my self.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

How to survive a school full of kids who are the descendents of Greek Gods.

Any additional comments?

I know this book is targeted at the tween's. But I don't care if you need a feel good story with just enough supernatural to ground you Read Oh My Gods by Tera Lynn Childs.

(On my dad's account)
So i read some bad reviews on this but i thought i should listen to it myself for juding it..this book is for pre-teens (like me) it's not for 20-40 women half of the views come from that age group on here it's quite sad because for teens they put back such good books..I really like the idea of this book at some points it annyoys me and then it doesn't..I love the people in this book i especially like her step - father he is very witty , This is like cinderella with a twist of myth legends and love..since Stella is going after the prince charming but Phobe get's to him they have hardships and blah blah blah..But over all this book is amazing.

This is a lovely YA fantasy/scifi novel. It's well written with well developed characters and a nice plot line. The narration was very good. It was not an 'amazing' novel, thus only 4 stars. However, it was an enjoyable, well worked book which I highly recommend.

I bought the story because I am half Greek and thought it could be amusing. It really was! Unexpectedly so. And you don't need to be half Greek to enjoy it. This was creative and cute and perfect for young adults. The reader was very dynamic and fun to listen to. Overall, I enjoyed this more than I expected to.

Maybe when Phoebe first talks to Griffin in the lunch room after making the deal with Stella - so awkward!

Any additional comments?

Like some of the other reviews say, don't judge a book by it's cover. There was really never a time listening to this story that I just wanted to skip through because I was bored, it was entertaining all the way through! I went into listening to story with low expectations but ended up loving it.
